80W (24V) PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES - 80J-B (24V)

80W (24V) Photovoltaic modules

80J-B (24V)

This line of modules is the direct result of over three decades of design,
manufacturing and use. Attending to every detail in the design and manufacture of
our products, our process controls and testing methods have optimized module life
and electrical energy production.

Ameresco Solar’s off-grid module line offers the following features and benefits:

► Built to last
From mountaintops to off-shore platforms, on weather stations in the bitter cold of
Antarctica and on telephone signal repeaters in the hot Australian outback, the
technology has been proven in the harshest environments.

► Accessible junction box for off-grid connections

J-type junction box has accessible terminals for easier
module interconnections in off-grid applications, and it
allows fitting cable glands for various cross-sections.

► Thick, durable scratch resistant back sheet

The thick back sheet provides extra insulation and
increased resistance to protect your module against
rough handling. The white polyester material lasts
longer and increases energy production.

► High reliability
Cell interconnections and diode
placement use well-established
industry practice and are field-proven
to provide excellent reliability.
► Quality and certifications
ISO 9001 factory certification ensures that our
manufacturing facilities use proven manufacturing and
quality control processes.
